Chapter 1
“You girls be kind to your father this week.”said Jo to her daughters at the kitchen table.”I know I know,You’ve only told us 1,000 times.”said Callie sarcastically.”Don’t worry mommy I love daddy,I’ll be nice.”said RoseMarie.Jo leans over and kisses RoseMarie on her head.”GoodGirl.”said Jo.

“Morning!”said Edna as she walks into the kitchen.”Morning Mrs.G.”said Callie and RoseMarie.”Good Morning Edna.”said Jo.Edna walks over to the table and sits down.”Are you two ready to spend the week with Rick?”asked Edna.”Yes,I cant wait!When Daddy called the other day he said that We could go to the park,Swimming,Skating at the Roller Arcade,To see movies,Go to the zoo,And……”said RoseMarie getting cut off by Callie.”….And we’ll live happily ever after.”said Callie sarcastically as she stands up and takes her dishes to the sink.”Callie!Be Nice!”Yelled RoseMarie in defense for her father.
“Why?”questioned Callie.”Cuz he’s our Daddy!”Yelled RoseMarie.Callie walks over to the table.”He is not ‘our Daddy’ ‘our Daddy’ would not treat use the way he did,’Our Daddy’ would treat us with love and kindness,As far as im concerned that man is not ‘Our Daddy’ and he never will be!”Yelled Callie in one breath then storms out of the room.

Jo stands up.”I’ll go after her.”said Jo.Edna stands up and puts her hand in Jo’s way.”No I’ll go you finish your coffee.”said Edna.”Thanks.”said Jo then sits down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Callie throws her bags off her bed then sits down on her bed.”Callie,Can I come in?”asked Edna from the hallway.”Sure.”said Callie quietly.Edna opens the door then walks in closing the door behind her.

Edna walks over to Callie then sits down next to her.”Care to talk?”asked Edna.”There’s nothing to talk about.”said Callie keeping her head down.”What about what just happened?”questioned Edna. “Nothing happened.”said Callie looking down at her bed.Edna stands up and walks toward the door.”Well if you need to talk Im here.”said Edna as she starts to leave the room.Callie lifts her head.”Im scared.”said Callie quietly.
Edna turns around and looks at Callie.”About what?”asked Edna compassionately.”About visting my father.”said Callie.

Edna walks over to Callie and sits next to her.”How long have you felt like this?”asked Edna.”Since the first day he hurt Mom,My fear grew stronger when he hurt me,Then when he hurt RoseMarie I felt like Dying.She was only 6 and couldn’t fight back like I could and…..and I couldn’t even help her.”said Callie now in tears.Edna moves closer to Callie and puts an arm around her.”Sh…Sh…It’s alright.”said Edna.”No No its not,Im scared to go with him today,To be with him for a week…..Alone without anyone to help me im afraid of what he might do next.”cried Callie.”Did you tell your mom how you feel?”asked Edna.
“No and don’t you tell her,Please.”cried Callie.”But she can help you.”said Edna.”She might tell me I don’t have to go,I have to go so someone can protect RoseMarie,I don’t want her to live in fear like Mom and I.”said Callie with tears rolling down her face.Edna hands Callie some tissues.”You are a great sister.”said Edna while she pulls some hair out of Callie’s face.

“Callie! You have 15 minutes till its time to go you better get ready!”Yelled Jo from another room.”You better get ready.”said Edna.”Ok….But Please don’t tell my mom.”said Callie.“I wont.”said Edna as she stands up and walks toward the door.”Mrs.G…..Thanks.”
said Callie.”Anytime.”said Edna as she leaves the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edna walks into the livingroom and over to the sofa and sits down next to Jo.”Is she ok?”asked Jo.”Shes fine.”said Edna.”That’s good to hear.”said Jo.

RoseMarie walks into the livingroom carrying two bags,a pillow,and her teddy bear.”Already Mommy!”said RoseMarie excited.Jo looks at her daughter and smiles.”Do have everything?”asked Jo.RoseMarie sets her things on the floor then thinks for a minute.”Um….No I forgot my play make-up kit and my favorite blanket the one with the pink and purple hearts.”said RoseMarie.”I think you can live with out those things.”said Jo.”Please Mommy….Can I take them….Please….”said RoseMarie looking as cute and innocent as a 7 year old could.”How can you say no to that face.”said Edna.”Oh allright go get them and hurry up.”said Jo.”Yea!”Yelled RoseMarie in excitement then runs out of the room.

Callie walks into the livingroom and sets her bags and pillow on the floor then walks over to the sofa and sits down in a near by chair.”Do you have everything?”asked Jo.
”Yeah.”said Callie.”Where’s Bruce? I haven’t seen him this morning.”questioned Jo.

“Callie! RoseMarie! Your Father is here!”called Jo from the livingroom.”Coming!”Yelled Callie.”Cal.”said Marcie.”I gotta go I’ll see you two in a week.”said Callie as she leaves the room.Marcie and Lisa follow not too far behind.

“Bye everyone.”said Callie.”Bye girls.”said Jo as Callie,RoseMarie,and Rick leave.

“I have a few cookies left in kitchen if you girls want any.”said Edna.”I do!”said Tabitha excited.”Anyone else?”asked Edna.”Could I get mine to go?

Blair’s eyes slowly widen.”Next!”yelled Blair as she quickly stands up.Jim stands up and walks towards the door.”Does this mean I don’t have the job?”asked Jim.”That’s right, Next!”Yelled Blair as Jim leaves.

Morgan walks over to Blair.”Feeling any better?”asked Morgan.”No,I feel the same.”said Blair.”Oh.”said Morgan.”Anyone else out there?”asked Blair.”Nope that’s it.”said Morgan.

Marcie walks into the apartment buliding and then she walks into Blair’s Office.
”Morgan.”said Marcie.”Just a sec Sister Mary.”said Morgan then puts her hand on the mouth piece of the phone.”Sister Mary? Who are you talking to a Nun?”Questioned Marcie.”Ex Nun.”said Morgan.Marcie give Morgan a strange look.”Whatever, Where’s Blair?”asked Marcie. “Sleeping.”said Morgan.”Kay thanks.”said Marcie as she leaves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marcie walks down the hallway then takes out her key and opens the door into their area which is four apartment buildings put together to form a house for the owner.Marcie places the key in her pocket then walks in and closes the door behind her.

Marcie walks into the kitchen and sets her things on the kitchen table. She then walks over to the sink and turns the water on,Then she walks over the cabinet and takes out a glass then walks over to the sink and fills it with water then turns the water off.

Marcie walks over to the table and opens the shopping bag and takes out some flu medicine then walks toward Blair’s room just as she hears a knock at the door.”Who is it?”asked Marcie.”Jo.”said Jo.”And Edna.”said Edna.”Coming.”said Marcie as she sets the glass of water and the bottle of medicine on a near by coffee table.

Marcie walks over to the door then opens it.”Is Blair here?”asked Edna.”Yeah she’s in her room,end of the hall last door on your right.”said Marcie.”Thanks,Has Blair eatten anything today?”asked Edna.”She had some toast and orange jucie about 8 this morning then threw it up 15 minutes later.”said Marcie.”Its after two maybe she’ll want some soup.”said Edna.”If she’ll keep it down.”said Marcie.”Can we use your kitchen?”asked Edna.”Sure help yourself, I’ll just be in by Blair giving her the medicine I bought her.”said Marcie.”I’ll take it to her, you go and have fun before school starts in a few weeks.”said Jo.”Thanks its on the coffee table over there along with a glass of water.”said Marcie.”Ok.”said Jo.”I’ll be over at Lisa’s if Blair or anyone needs me.”said Marcie as she walks toward the door.”Allright have fun.”said Edna as Marice leaves.

Jo walks into Blair’s room and looks over at her bed to see Blair awake and staring at her.”What are you doing?”asked Blair.”Im bringing you some medicine and I came to see how you were feeling.”said Jo.”Thanks, I feel like death.”said Blair.”Well maybe you’ll feel better after you take this stuff,And Edna is making you some soup.”said Jo.”I don’t think I can keep anything down.”said Blair.

“Its chicken noodle.”said Edna as she walks into the room.Blair gets a strange look on her face then stands up.”I think im going to be sick.”said Blair as she runs into the bathroom.
By now you can here Blair throwing up.”Are you allright?”asked Edna.”No.”said Blair
quickly then throws up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jo opens the door then walks into the bathroom and closes it behind her,She kneels down next to Blair just as Blair throws up.Jo puts her left hand on Blair’s back and rubs it.
Blair looks up.”Jo,What are you doing in here?”asked Blair.”I was going to hold your hair back but its up.”said Jo.”T…..Ugh”said Blair as she throws up.Jo rubs Blair’s back.

About five minutes later Blair reaches over and flushes the toilet,Then looks over at Jo.”Can you help me up?”asked Blair.”Sure.”said Jo as she stands up.Jo holds out her right hand,Blair grabs it and slowly pulls herself up with Jo’s helps.”Thanks.”said Blair.”Anytime.”said Jo.”Im going to brush my teeth.”said Blair then walks over to the sink.Blair sudenly feels dizzy and looses her balance,She starts to fall,Jo holds her arms out and Blair falls into Jo’s arms before she has a chance to hit the floor.”Lets get you to bed.”said Jo as she helps Blair out of the bathroom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blair and Jo slowly walk into the bedroom and over to Blair’s bed.Blair sits down on her bed then she leans her head back onto her pillows.”Im going to get you a cold washcloth.”
said Jo as she walks into the bathroom.

Edna walks over to Blair and sits down on the bed next to her.”You sure you don’t want anything to eat.”said Edna.”Very sure.”said Blair.

“Here you go, This might help.”said Jo as she walks out of the bathroom and over to Blair.Jo places the washcloth on Blair’s head.”Thanks.”said Blair.”Sure,Blair I think you should see a doctor.”said Jo.”No I’ll be fine,Its just the flu,Some rest and I sould be fine.”said Blair.”The flu does not last two weeks.”said Jo.”Im fine.”said Blair.”Blair your not fine,You need to see doctor,You could be right it might just be the flu,But what if its not.”said Jo.”Jo’s right you need to see a doctor.”said Edna.”I can stand to see you suffer like this.”said Jo.Blair takes a deep breath.”Fine I’ll go tomorrow.”said Blair.”No you’ll go today,You’ll go now.”said Jo.Blair takes the washcloth off her head and sets it on her nightstand.”Fine,If someone will help me up I’ll go put on some real clothes.”said Blair.Jo holds out her hand and helps Blair up.

About 20 minutes later Blair is dressed in sweat pants, a t-shirt,sneekers,and her hair in a
Poneytail.”I never thought I’d see Blair dressed like that as long as I lived.”said Jo.
“Well when you feel like I do all you want is to feel comfortable.”said Blair.”Comfort,Now

Chapter 3
“Come on think.”said Natalie as she sits at the kitchen table forcing herself to think of an idea to continue her story.”Told you it was bad over here.”said Lisa to Marcie as Lisa hands Marcie a can of soda from the refrigerator.Marcie leans over and wispers into Lisa’s ear.
“You were right.”wispered Marcie.”I heard that.”said Natalie.”GGrrrrrr.”said Lisa.”Look I have a deadline to finish and If I don’t get it done on time I will be dead which means I could get fired which means no one will hire me which means we will be living off of your father’s money which means we’ll be in the poor house which means we will starve and die all because you could not leave me alone.”said both Natalie and Lisa.Marice trys not to laugh.”Whats so funny,I don’t think that’s funny.”said Natalie.”Mom atleast get dressed.”said Lisa.”I will not get dressed till Im done.”said Natalie.Marcie leans over to Lisa a whispers into her ear.”Has she even moved from that chair?”asked Marcie.”Only to use the bathroom.”said Lisa.”Im thinking of having your father bring me home some of those depends so I don’t even have to leave the chair.”said Natalie.Lisa and Marcie exchange very strange looks.”Um….Marcie lets go listen to some cd’s.”said Lisa.
”Kay.”said Marcie.”If you two spill that soda on the white carpet your dead!”yelled Natalie as the two girls leave the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“So what cd do you want to listen to?”asked Lisa as she opens her cd case.”What do you have?”asked Marcie.”Toby Keith,LeeAnn Rimes,Faith Hill…..”said Lisa getting cut off by Marcie.”Faith Hill.”said Marcie.”Which one?”asked Lisa.”The one with ‘This Kiss’.”said Marcie.Lisa takes out the cd then puts it her cd player,She then turns it on and turns the voulme up abit.”Hey I want to show you something.”said Lisa.”What?”asked Marcie.Lisa walks over to her the foot of her bed,She shoves her things off her trunk and on to the floor then opens the trunk,She moves somethings around then takes out a ziplock bag full of hair dye then closes the trunk and walks over to Marcie.”Hair dye.”said Lisa as she shows Marcie the bag.”Cool,You plan to dye your hair?”asked Marcie.”Yep,I thought that you and Callie would too.”said Lisa.”What colors do you have?”asked Marcie.”Blond, Black, Red,
Brown two of each.”said Lisa.Marcie thinks for a minute.”I don’t know, I’d love to dye my hair a brownish color…..but Im in enough trouble with Blair as it is….I do stand a very good chance of getting away with it though.”said Marcie.”So is it a yes?”asked Lisa.”YES! I’ll do it,I allways wanted brown hair.”said Marcie.”Why?”asked Lisa.”My mom had brown hair,If I dye my hair her color I would look just like her.”said Marcie.”Cool.”said Lisa.”Yep,So what color are you dying yours?”asked Marcie.”Red, Bright Red.”said Lisa.”Cool,When do you want to do it?”asked Marcie.”Well now…But I thought Callie could do it with us but we can do hers later next week.”said Lisa.”We can do it in an empty apartment room in my building so no one will see us.”said Marcie.”Cool,Help me grab somethings.”said Lisa. “Like what?”asked Marcie.”Towels about 6,Combs,Brushes,a large bag,baseball caps.”said Lisa.”Kay.”said Marcie.

About ten minutes later the two girls are ready.”Ok we’ll sneek into the building take the back stairs up to the third floor and to the last room on the right.”said Marcie.”Sounds like a plan.”said Lisa as the two girls walk out of Lisa’s room.

Lisa and Marcie walk pass the kitchen and see Natalie writing.”Mom Im going to the Movies with Marcie.”said Lisa.”Ok but nothing rated R and be home by six for dinner.”said Natalie.”Marcie and I were just going to eat there.”said Lisa.”Fine,You need any money?”asked Natalie.”No im fine.”said Lisa.”Ok have fun.”said Natalie as the two girls walk out of the house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lisa and Marcie slowly walk into the apartment building,The two the walk to the back of the building and then climb up the stairs.

When the two reach the room Marcie closes and locks the door then they both walk into the bathroom and Marcie closes the door behind them.

Lisa sets the bag on the sink then opens it and takes out the hair dye.”It says to wet hair.”said Lisa.”Ok,Um I’ll put my head under the the tub water and you can use the sink.”said Marcie.”Kay.”said Lisa.

One hour later Lisa and Marcie’s hair is finished.The two girls look at their new hair in the mirror.”You look so much better with brown hair.”said Lisa.”Thanks,Your red hair is very cool.”said Marcie.”You think?”questioned Lisa.”Yep, Its cool.”said Marcie.”Yeah it is.”said Lisa.”My God I look so much like my mom at 15 it’s scary.”said Marcie. “I don’t look anything like my birth mother,I thank God for that.”said Lisa.”We better clean up.”said Marcie.

Ten minutes later Marcie and Lisa walk downstairs each with their hair stuffed in the basball caps that their waring.”I never thought you would own a hat that said Hottie.”said Marcie.”My old Boyfriend gave it to me when I was 12 but we ended our relationship a week after I turned 14, You have the best hat.”said Lisa.”I hate yellow.”said Marcie.

“Then why are you waring it?”asked Morgan as she slowly walks up from behind Lisa and Marcie.”What are you doing?”asked Marcie nervously.Morgan walks past Marcie and quickly walks over to Lisa and takes the cap off of Lisa’s head.”The question is what did you do to your hair?”asked Morgan.”Give me my hat back.”said Lisa as she chaces Morgan.”No Way!”said Morgan.Lisa knocks Morgan on the floor and starts to fight her for the hat.”GIVE ME MY HAT!”yelled Lisa.

Edna walks down the hallway then and over to Lisa and Morgan and pulls them apart.”Girls! What are you doing?”Asked Edna.”Nothing Mrs.G.”said Marcie.”Lisa what in Gods name did you do to your hair?”asked Edna.”I….um…..”said Lisa.”…..Dyed it.”said Marcie quickly finishing Lisa’s sentence.Edna looks over at Marcie.”Marcie take your hat off.”said Edna.”Do I have to?”asked Marcie softly.”Yes.”said Edna.Marcie slowly takes her cap off to reveal her Brown hair.”This is great.”said Morgan as she starts to laugh.”Morgan go back inside.”said Edna.”Oh fine.”said Morgan as she walks down the hall.”Lisa you better go home.”said Edna kinda upset and disipointed.”Bye Marcie.”said Lisa softly.”Bye.”said Marcie softly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edna and Marcie walk into the apartment.”Marcie go to your room.”said Edna.”Fine.”said Marcie softly as she walks toward her room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marcie walks into her room and closes the door behind her, She walks over to her bed and lays down with her back facing the door.

Marcie stares at the picture of her mother on her nightstand.”All I wanted was to look like you,All I needed was to dye my hair brown,Now I look just like you were at my age,Only now I will be forced to either dye it back or wait for my hair to change back,I never knew you or heard your voice……Well not that I know of anyway, I just wanted to feel like I was close to you in someway……I don’t know…..I was offered the chance and I took it…….No matter how awful my punishment is I know I made the right decision.”said Marcie to the picture of her mother.

Edna stands in the hallway and knocks on Marcie’s door.’I hope I know what to say to her,I hope I stay calm without letting her know I overheard what she just said,I hope.’Thought Edna as she opens the door to Marcie’s room.

Edna walks in and over to Marcie, Edna sits down on Marcie’s bed.Marcie turns around and faces Edna.”Im dead right?”questioned Marcie.”Well Im not your parent so I can not punish you,But Blair can,when she comes home.”said Edna.” Where is she ?”Asked Marcie.”Jo took her to the Hospital.”said Edna.”Is she allright?”asked Marcie abit concerned.”Im not sure yet,But they have been gone for about two hours now.”said Edna.

“What do you think Blair will do to me?”asked Marcie.”I’m not sure,She might ground you,but that’s the worse she could do.”said Edna.”Are you mad at me?”asked Marcie.
“No im not mad,Im more disipointed with you.” Said Edna.” Disappointed ,Huh never heard that one before, either they are shocked, mad, angry, or are yelling at me, Sometimes all the above, But disappointed, No.”said Marcie.”Im disipionted because I know that you know better then to do something like this.”said Edna.”You don’t know me too well.”said Marcie.”You’er a smart girl.”said Edna.”I guess not smart enough.”said Marcie.”You saw a chance where no one would stand in your way and you took it, Even smart people make poor decisions.”said Edna.” You were standing by my door listening weren’t you.”said Marcie.”Guilty.”said Edna.”So you know my reasons for doing it.”said Marcie.”Yes,I know how much miss her,I miss mine just as much as you must miss yours.”said Edna.”No you don’t, How could you even know? I never even knew my mother,All I have is a few pictures and only the few things my dad told me,that’s it.” said Marcie somewhat angry.

Edna looks over at the picture of Marcie’s mother.” She was pretty, you look just like her with your brown hair.”Said Edna.”Thanks.”said Marcie.”What was her name?”asked Edna.
“Lena, that was one of the only things my father told me about her, other then they shorten both of their names to name me.”said Marcie.”What is your full name?”asked Edna. “Marcie Jaylene Gentry, Jay after my dad and Lene after Lena my mom.”said Marcie.
“You have a very beautiful name.”said Edna.”Thanks.”said Marcie with a smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile Lisa slowly walks into her house,She looks around and notices Natalie in the kitchen.

Lisa slowly walks past the kitchen making sure she does not make any noise.”Lisa you left your music on when you left earlier I turned it off.”said Natalie without looking up from her laptop.Lisa looks nervous thinking that Natalie saw her red hair.”Sorry.”said Lisa nervously.”Don’t let it happen again.”said Natalie not looking up.”I wont.”said Lisa as she starts to walk away but stops when she sees Tabitha walking toward her.”Lisa what did you do to your hair?”asked Tabitha.”Crap.”mumbled Lisa under her breath.

Natalie looks up from her laptop.”Lisa Rachel Gates! What is the world did you do to your hair ?”Asked Natalie yelling and in shock.”I um…. Dyed it.”said Lisa nervously.”It looks pretty.”said Tabitha.”Tabby go to your room.”said Natalie.”But I just came out of there after my nap.”said Tabitha.”Fine Lisa you go help Tabby fix her hair, Don’t dye it.”said Natalie.”I wont,So am I grounded?”asked Lisa.”Yes, You must cook dinner, Clean up after, and take care of Tabby and Sammy till I finish my book which will take about a week.”said Natalie.”Fine come on Tabby.”said Lisa as the two girls walk down the hallway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fifteen minutes later Blair and Jo are in a room waiting for a doctor to see Blair.”Blair,I think I might know what is wrong with you.”said Jo.”What?”asked Blair as she looks over at Jo from the stretcher she is laying on.”I never thought of it till just now.”said Jo.
“What?”asked Blair sitting up on the stretcher.”Were you and Jay close near the end?”asked Jo hinting around.”I know what you’re thinking and I doubt it,we were careful.”said Blair knowing what Jo was hinting at and not liking the idea.”Just asking because I had those same symptoms with Rosemarie and my miscarriage.”said Jo.
”Well…..I was drunk most of the time……No, no I’m not………You really think so?”questioned Blair.”I really do think so.”said Jo.Blair leans back on the stretcher and stares at the ceiling with a look of worry on her face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ten minutes later a doctor walks into the room,He looks down at his clipboard then back up.”Blair Gentry.”said the Doctor.Blair lifts up her hand.”Over here.”said Blair.”Im going to be waiting in the hall.”said Jo.”Kay.”said Blair just as Jo leaves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jo walks over to a payphone and decides to call Blair’s house to tell Edna how Blair’s doing.

Jo picks up the phone and places it to her ear then puts some money in the coin part then she dials the number.”Hello?”asked Edna from the other line.”Hey im just calling to tell you that the doctor is just seeing Blair.”said Jo.”Just now,It must be busy.”said Edna.”Very busy,Anyway they may be running tests so we might not be back for awhile.”said Jo.”That’s fine,Just as long as Blair’s allright,I’ll just take Marcie and Morgan back to my place and cook dinner there.”said Edna.”Ok,How are they?”asked Jo.”Morgan’s fine, Marcie and Lisa got into some trouble though.”said Edna.”What kind of trouble?”asked Jo.”They dyed their hair.”said Edna.”Really,I didn’t think they would do that,Im glad Callie wasn’t here.What colors?”asked Jo.”Lisa dyed her’s a bright red and Marcie’s is some type of brown.”said Edna.”I cant wait to see how that looks,I hope Blair doesn’t Kill Marcie.”said Jo.”I doubt it.”said Edna.”True Blair isn’t a Natural blond.”said Jo.”I better go Bruce is at the door.”said Edna.”Yeah same here someone wants the phone.”said Jo.”Bye.”said Jo then hangs up the phone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Well Mrs.Gentry we only have one more test left.”said the doctor.”Great,which one?”asked Blair.”A blood test.”said the doctor.”A blood test…..I…um….Cant we skip that one.”Said Blair nervously.”Im afraid not.”said the doctor.”If you must.”said Blair.
“Great.”said the doctor.

The Doctor walks over a table and takes a needle, alcohol wipe,and a band-aid off the table then walks over to Blair.The doctor takes the alcohol wipe and wipes a spot on Blair’s arm.”OUCH!”yelled Blair.”Its only the alcohol wipe.”said the doctor.”Oh.”said Blair just as the doctor sticks her.”All done.”said the Doctor.”That didn’t hurt.”said Blair.The doctor smiles.”I’ll be back with the tests in a few minutes.”said the doctor as he leaves the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thirty minutes later the doctor walks back into the room, He look down at his clipboard then back up at Blair.”Well Mrs.Gentry I have your results.”said the Doctor.Blair looks at him worried.”Well.”said Blair nervously.” Your 3 months Pregnant.” Said the Doctor. Blair’s eyes slowly widen.”Im what?”asked Blair in shock.”Your 3 months Pregnant.”said the Doctor.”I…I…Oh Lord.”said Blair.”It must be quite a shock.”said the doctor.”You don’t know the half of it.”said Blair.

“I will need to see you in a week to see how you’re doing,Your drinking may have already caused damage, If you any questions or problems before then you can come in.”said the doctor as he starts to leave.”Thank-You.”said Blair as the doctor leaves.

Blair stands up and picks up her purse.’My life is over,I can barely raise two teenaged girls how can I raise another?’Thought Blair.’I don’t know what I will do,I cant put Marcie and Morgan through this, There father dies,I start in drinking more then before, Now this, I can not do this to them its not right.’Thought Blair as she walks out of the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blair walks over to Jo whom is sitting in a chair in the waiting area.”Ready to go.”said Blair softly.Jo stands up.”Ready,Are you allright?”asked Jo.Blair is sightline as the two walk out of the hospital.

‘This is just a dream ,I will wake up soon and I will be in my own bed.’Thought Blair.
”Blair.”Said Jo.Blair suddenly snaps out of her thoughts.”Huh?”asked Blair.”We’er at the car.”said Jo.”Oh yeah,Right.”said Blair.Jo looks at her strangely.”Blair what did the doctor say?”asked Jo.Blair takes a deep breath.”Im Pregnant.”said Blair in a depressed way.Jo studies Blair’s face.”Juding by your face that’s not great news.”said Jo.Blair opens the car door.”Your right,and You cant tell anyone.”said Blair.”Why not?”questioned Jo.”Because im going to have an abortion.”said Blair calmly.”Your what?”asked Jo in shock.”You heard me.”said Blair.Jo looks at Blair and can tell she is serious about her decision. Blair then gets into the car and slams the door shut.

Chapter 5
“Mrs.Garrett when is Mom coming home?”asked Morgan as she sets the kitchen table.”I don’t know sweetie, Jo said it shouldn’t be too much longer.”said Edna as she cuts up some vegetables. “I think she just has the flu and will be fine, nothing to be dramatic about.”said Marcie while setting the chicken on the table. “I don’t want to loose her, she’s the only parent I have left.”said Morgan. “Im in the same boat but you don’t see me getting worked up about nothing.”said Marcie while walking over to the counter.”Nothing she be dying!”Said Morgan overreacting. Marcie walks over to the table and sets some glasses down.”Morgan relax I’m sure she will be fine, Now help me finish the salad.”said Edan. “All right.”said Morgan as she walks over to Edna.
____________________________________________________

Meanwhile Blair and Jo walk into Blair’s apartment house.”Jo could you go get my girls?”asked Blair. “Sure………..Blair we need to talk.”said Jo. “About what?” questioned Blair. ”You know what.”said Jo. “Look you know my decision.” said Blair in an angry tone. “If you don’t want the baby then at least put it up for adoption, There are millions of people who would love to have a child but cant.”said Jo. “I could not do that, I would worry weather its being loved enough, if its being hurt, if its going hungry, I cant do that.”said Blair upset and emotional. “Then keep the baby and raise it, Love it, protect it, feed it.”said Jo. “I cant, I don’t have the time to raise it, I can barely raise Marcie and Morgan, Its easier with them because they are older and can protect themselves better then a baby could. I probably have killed the baby already, or caused brain damage.”said Blair.
“Then you could stop drinking and find out from the doctor if there is something you could do.”said Jo. “I don’t want the baby!” yelled Blair in an emotional rage. “Fine I’m going home, I’ll tell your girls to come home after dinner.”said Jo as she starts to leave.

“Jo.”said Blair fighting back the tears. Jo turns around.”What?” asked Jo calmly? “Please do not tell anyone………..Please.” said Blair emotionally as she holds back the tears. Jo turns around and walks toward the door and opens it.”I wont.”said Jo as she leaves.
____________________________________________________

Jo walks into her house, she sets her purse on the coat rack then she walks toward the kitchen.

“Mrs.G could you pass the ranch dressing?”asked Marcie. “Sure.”said Edna as she picks up the ranch dressing then hands it to Marcie.”Thanks.”said Marcie.

Jo walks into the kitchen and over to the refrigerator and opens the door. “How’s Mom?” asked Morgan quickly. Jo takes out a bottle of water then closes the door. “She’s fine.” Said Jo calmly. “Is it the flu?”asked Marcie. “Yes.”said Jo lying. “See I told you she’s not dying.”said Marcie to Morgan. “I’m going to my room.”said Jo. “What about dinner?”asked Edna. “I’m not hungry.” said Jo as she leaves.

“I’m going to see mom.”said Morgan as she stands up. “She’s probably resting, Finish your dinner.”said Edna. Morgan sits down.”Fine.”said Morgan picking up her fork.
____________________________________________________

Jo walks into her bedroom closing the door behind her. She walks over to her bed and sits down.

Jo reaches next to her bed and picks up her notebook and pen and starts to write.

August 21 2001,

Why is my life so hard? I tried to have a great life, A Husband two girls, A perfect job, A great house, A baby on the way, life was great.

Now I have an Ex Husband who hurt his wife and kids, who wants to wants to take the girls from me, I have a job that I start in after labor day, I share a house with someone else, I had a miscarriage, My life is awful.

Now my alcoholic best friend wants to have an abortion, I wish she would get some help and keep the baby, I don’t think I’m strong enough to watch her do this to herself, I’m only one person, I have to worry about loosing my kids and never seeing them again and Blair wants to loose hers.

I don’t understand anything anymore, I feel like I’m just here, Like what I say, what I do, and How I feel means nothing to people.

I hate myself, I hate my life, I wish everything was over.

-Jo Bonnor

Chapter 6
Lisa stares at the food on her plate as she moves it around her plate. “Lisa you haven’t touched your dinner.” said Sam. “I guess since I cant do anything till I’m 18 I just don’t feel like eating.” Said Lisa. “It is not my fault you dyed your hair red without asking us first.”said Sam then takes a bite of his stake. “So if I asked you if I could dye my hair you would have said yes?” Questioned Lisa while looking over at her father. “No.”said Sam. “That’s what I thought.”said Lisa.

“Daddy can I have a cookie now?” asked Tabitha. Sam looks over at Tabitha’s plate. “All right but only one, and take your plate to the sink, and eat it at the table.” Said Sam. Tabitha stands up, she picks up her plate and walks over to the sink and sets the plate in the sink, she then walks over to the cookie jar and takes out and sugar cookie then walks back to the table and sits down. Tabithia takes a bite of the cookie.”Yummy.”said Tabithia with a smile.

“Is mom done with her book yet?” asked Lisa. “Close she had ‘A writers breakthrough’ as she calls it.” Said Sam. “That’s good maybe she will get back to her old self again.”said Lisa. “Maybe, She is also trying to get a job with the news paper.”said Sam. “Any luck?”asked Lisa. “Some, They should call her with in the next two weeks.”said Sam. “Oops.”said Tabitha. “What oops?”asked Lisa. “Did someone call for mommy about a job?”asked Sam. “Um………..No.”said Tabithia. “Then what was the oops about?”asked Lisa. “I dropped my cookie.”said Tabithia. “Pick it up.”said Sam. “O key, You know Daddy if we had a dog he could do it for us.”said Tabithia while picking up the cookie. “When your older Tabby.” Said Sam. “I am older, I’m older then yesterday, I’m older then an hour ago, and a minute ago.” Said Tabithia as she walks over to the trashcan. “When you are
7 ½ your mom and I will talk about getting you one for your 8th birthday.”said Sam. “But that’s almost 2 years away.”said Tabithia. “You’ll make it.”said Sam. “What if I don’t Daddy, What if I die from waiting.”said Tabithia. “The puppy will miss you.”said Lisa.

“Ok girls get ready for bed.”said Sam. “Its only 8.” Said Lisa. “Yeah, It too early for bed.”said Tabithia. “Lisa help your sister get ready for bed then you can read till your tired.”said Sam. “Fine, Come on Tabby.”said Lisa. “Can I ware my pink puppy PJ’s, and can you read me ‘Spot’s Rescue’, Please……….Please…………Please.”said Tabithia. “All right, I might as well, after all I DON’T HAVE A LIFE.”said Lisa while looking over at Sam.
“I didn’t dye my hair red.”said Sam as Lisa and Tabitia leave the kitchen.
____________________________________________________
Sam walks into his bedroom and looks over at his bed to see Natalie working away on her book.” Sweaty.”said Sam. “Don’t ‘sweaty’ me you moron.” Said Natalie rudely. “What did I do?”asked Sam in defense. “First you Married me, Second you walked into the room, Thirdly you are driving me INSANE!”Yelld Natalie. “Fine I’ll leave, I’ll see if Sammy has room in his crib.” Said Sam. “You do that.”said Natalie without looking up from her computer. “Natty I was joking.”said Sam. “Don’t call me Natty.”said Natalie. “You use to love it when I’d call you Natty.”said Sam. “Time marches on, Things change.”said Natalie.

Sam walks over to his be and sits down next to Natalie and puts his arm around her shoulder. Natalie moves away from his arm and continues to type. “Come on Natty you need to rest and relax.” said Sam. “I will when I finish my book.”said Natalie. “What’s your book about?”asked Sam. “Its about a Puppy and a girl, My third Children’s book.”said Natalie. “That’s great, Can I read it when you are finished?” asked Sam. “Maybe.”said Natalie while Typing.

Sam moves closer to Natalie, He puts one arm around her shoulder then leans in and kisses her. Natalie shoves him off of her and he lands on the floor. “Ouch I think I hurt my head.”Said Sam in pain. “Maybe you knocked some sense in to you head…………….Nope you are still here.”said Natalie. “Fine I’ll leave, But at least take a shower if you don’t sleep.”said Sam While standing up from the floor. “Bye.”said Natalie as she waves good-bye. “You really love me don’t you.”said Sam sarcastically. “Uh Huh.”said Natalie without looking up from her computer, Sam leaves the room.
____________________________________________________
Meanwhile Blair is sitting in the living room on her sofa holding a cup of soup and thinking. ‘I don’t know what to I’m going to do, I know I probable ruined the baby’s chance for a normal life because of my drinking, I hate myself for doing that, I don’t think I should put that child through pain, I know Marcie and Morgan could not handle a brother or sister, They can barely handle each other, There is this apartment to run and take care of and the store which I still have to find someone to help me run it. I cant raise another child.’ Thought Blair.

Marcie, Morgan and Edna walk into the apartment house.”Hi mom.”said Morgan as she walks over to Blair. “Hi Blair.”said Marcie. “Hello.”said Blair. “Are you feeling better?” asked Edna while walking over to Blair. “I feel worse.”said Blair. “I’m going to go to watch tv.”said Marcie. “Ok.”said Blair. “I better take a shower and go to bed after all I need my beauty sleep.”said Morgan. “Good night girls.”said Blair. “Night.”said Marcie and Morgan as the two head for their rooms.

Edna sits down on the sofa next to Blair. “Still feeling awful.”said Edna. “Yes.”said Blair. “Jo said you had the flu.”said Edna. “She’s right."said Blair. “Did the Doctor give you any medicine?”asked Edna. Blair moves the soup around in her cup with her spoon.”No.”said Blair. “Would you like me to heat that up for you?”offered Edna. “No thanks I’m not hungry.”said Blair as she sets the cup down on the coffee table next to her.

Edna looks at Blair, She can tell Blair is not telling her everything. “Blair would you like it if I stayed here tonight incase you or your girls need anything.”offered Edna. “No thanks, You need to rest yourself.”said Blair as she sinks lower down on the sofa. “I’m doing much better since I got the treatment, besides You need the rest and help way more then I do.” Said Edna. “Thanks………But We’ll be fine.”said Blair. “Do you want me or Bruce to get you anything?”asked Edna. ‘Yeah Help would be nice.’ Thought Blair. “No I don’t need anything.” Said Blair. “All right but if you do we live right across the street.”said Edna while standing up. “Kay.”said Blair.

Edna walks toward the door.”Are you sure you’re fine?”asked Edna. ‘No I’m not’ Thought Blair. “Yes I am.” Said Blair. “All right, Good Night then.”said Edna as she leaves.

Blair leans Back on the sofa, She puts her right hand through her hair. ”I am far from being fine.” Said Blair.

Chapter 7
Jo wakes up early the next morning before the sun rises. She walks into the kitchen and over to the counter, She picks up the coffee pot and fills it with water then sets it down on the heater to warm up.

Jo walks over to the kitchen table and sits down while the coffee is heating. ‘Well its 5am and I cant sleep I guess coffee wont help any, I guess I’ll start my day early.’ Thought Jo.

The coffee machine dings about ten minutes later, Jo stands up and walks over and pours herself a cup then walks toward the living room.

Jo sits on the end of the sofa, She leans her back on an arm rest and curls up her legs on the sofa. Deep in her thoughts Jo takes a sip of her coffee. ‘I am so afraid that Rick is going to hurt my girls, I know Callie did not want to go but felt like she had to for RoseMarie, I just want my girls to be all right I cant stand that they are so far away from me, I want to see them, I want to know they are all right, If anything happens to them I will die.’ Jo is crying as she thinks of this. ‘I am usually much stronger then this, I’m the one that never breaks down during a crisis, The one that can hold her own, The one that protects herself and others, Now I’m the one that is breaking, I’m the one that needs to be held, I’m the one that needs protecting.’ Thought Jo as she cries. Jo sets her coffee down then lays back in the sofa and cries.

Edna walks into the living room, She looks around and notices Jo on the sofa crying. Edna slowly walks toward the sofa and over to Jo. Edna sits down next Jo and rests her hand on Jo’s shoulder. Jo looks up at Edna. “Are you all right?” asked Edna in concern. Jo whips the tears away with the back of her hands. “Yeah I’m fine.” Said Jo softly. “You don’t seem fine.”said Edna. “I…Just…Nothing.” said Jo hesitating to tell Edna. “Jo please you know you can tell me anything.”said Edna. “I cant.”said Jo. “Why not, Is it about Blair?” questioned Edna. ‘Yeah Blair is part of the reason, My Life is the other part.’ Thought Jo.
“Blair is fine, Whatever she has she can handle it.”said Jo. “Then what is it.”asked Edna.
“Nothing, I’m fine.”said Jo. “Jo please stop trying to be the strong one, It’s ok to be the one who is hurting and let your emotions show.”said Edna. ‘She is right I should ‘let my emotions show’ I just cant I’m not that kind of person.’ Thought Jo. “There is nothing to show, I’m just stressed.”said Jo. “About what?” asked Edna. ‘My Life, Blair, My Life.’ Thought Jo.

Jo’s eyes start to fill with tears; she quickly stands up and keeps her back turned toward Edna. “I’m fine.” Said Jo fighting back the tears. Edna stands up and walks over to Jo; she places her hands on Jo’s shoulders. “Jo what is the matter?” questioned Edna in concern. “I am suppose to be the strong one but I…….I….Can’t anymore, I……I…..Just can’t.” said Jo in tears. “Jo its all right.” Said Edna. Jo starts to cry harder. “No…..It……its…..not.” cried Jo as she started to shake. Edna tightens her grip on Jo’s shoulders; Jo feels Edna’s hands and turns around; Edna looks at Jo’s face then hugs her while Jo cries on her shoulder.
____________________________________________________
Marcie runs into the kitchen and over to Morgan. “What’s Burning?” asked Marcie in a panic. “Oh no the toast for mom.” said Morgan while running over to the toaster. “Morgan are you insane! You know you are not aloud with in 1 foot of cookware.” Said Marcie. “So the kitchen got a little messed up, It was just a little smoke damage no one was hurt.” Said Morgan while popping up the toast. “A little! The whole kitchen almost burned to the ground, It took five fire trucks and 30 firemen to stop the fire from spreading to the rest of the house.” Said Marcie. Morgan unplugs the toaster. “We had insurance and the firemen were cute.” Said Morgan while taking plastic salad tongs and picking up the toast and putting it in the garbage can. “I still can’t believe you thought the firemen were cute when you were 10.” Said Marcie while opening the refrigerator. “I move fast, I know what I like and I go for it.” Said Morgan with a smile.

Marcie takes out a container of yogurt then closes the door. “You make me sick, I didn’t start to like boys till I was 14, and only one, Jimmy Mitchell he was cute in his cowboy hat and boots and I loved it when he would be grooming the horses, I hate him for dumping me for that Sara Clark That snobbish southern bell, I hate southern bells.” Said Marcie. “Well I don’t hate him for that.” Said Morgan. Marcie sets the yogurt down on the counter. “Oh, Fill me in.” said Marcie getting angry. “I meant I don’t blame him.” Said Morgan. Marcie takes out a spoon and a small glass cup and sets it next to the yogurt. “Tell me before I force that burnt toast down your throat.” Said Marcie angry. “You can be a pain at times, and you are crazy too.” Said Morgan. “How am I crazy?” asked Marcie as she takes the top off the yogurt. “You dyed your hair brown out of the blue not one thought given to it, I would call it crazy.” Said Morgan.

Marcie takes the spoon and puts some yogurt into the small cup then puts the lid back on the yogurt. “I love being crazy, It’s the only way to have fun in life, The best part is Blair hasn’t even noticed my hair.” Said Marcie while walking over to the refrigerator with the yogurt. “I think you can have plenty of fun in life without being crazy, Besides she will find out as soon as she’s better and you could be grounded.” Said Morgan. Marcie opens the refrigerator and sets the yogurt in and takes out a small bottle of orange juice. “I don’t think so; anyway give this to Blair instead of the toast, she likes strawberry yogurt.” Said Marcie as she hands her sister the yogurt and orange juice.

Blair walks into the kitchen and over to the two girls.”Im not hungry.” Said Blair. “Feeling any better mom?” asked Morgan. “No, Is something burning?” asked Blair. “Morgan tried to make you toast.” Said Marcie. “Thank-you sweetie but next time have Marcie do it, I cant afford to loose this building.” Said Blair. “Kay.” Said Morgan.

“So you don’t want your yogurt?” questioned Marcie. “No but I will take that orange juice.” Said Blair as she takes the juice from Morgan. “Mom can I go to the mall today?” asked Morgan. “I don’t know your only 13 and I don’t want anything to happen to you.” Said Blair. “Come on mom, Please, you let Marcie go out by herself.” Said Morgan. “She’s 15 your 13, You can go only if Marcie agrees to go with you.” Said Blair. Marcie sighs and rolls her eyes. “Fine but we also have to look at the things that I want to.” Said Marcie. “Great!” said Morgan excited.

“You two be careful, I want you to be home by 5pm at the latest.” Said Blair. Morgan and Marcie walk over to the door and pick up their purses off of
the coat rack. “We will.” Said Marcie as she two girls leave.

Blair sets the bottle of orange juice down on the kitchen table; she then walks over the counter and picks up a phone book and turns the pages; she then tears out three pages and puts them in her purse; she then picks up her purse and leaves the apartment house.
____________________________________________________
Jo sits on her bed staring out the window; She reaches over next to her bed and picks up the phone and dials a number and waits for someone to answer. “Hello.” Said Rick from the other line. “Rick may I speak to my girls?” asked Jo. “RoseMarie is still sleeping but Callie is here.” Said Rick. “Could you put her on?” asked Jo. “Fine.”said Rick. “Thank-You.” Said Jo. “Hello.” Said Callie from the other line. “Hi its mom how are you?” asked Jo. “Fine.” Said Callie. “And RoseMarie.” Said Jo. “Fine.” Said Callie. “Is your father hurting you or RoseMarie?” asked Jo. “No.” said Callie. “Good, I’m glad you two are doing all right.” Said Jo. “Mom, Dad wants me to get off.” Said Callie. “Ok but if you need me please call.”said Jo. “I will, Bye.” Said Callie then quickly hangs up the phone.

Jo hangs up the phone then leans back on her bed. ‘I think Callie is not telling me everything.’ Thought Jo.

“Jo.” Said Edna as she knocks on Jo’s door. “Come in.” said Jo softly. Edna walks into Jo’s room. “I’m going to see how Blair is doing, Would you like to come?” asked Edna. ‘I really do not want to deal with her problems right now.’ Thought Jo. “No I think I’ll just stay here.” Said Jo quietly. “All right, If you need to talk later I’m here.” Said Edna. “Thanks.” Said Jo quietly as Edna leaves the room.
____________________________________________________
About two hours after Blair left her home she walks into her apartment house; she closes the door then walks into the living room and over to the sofa; she sets her purse down on the coffee table then she sits down on the sofa; Blair takes out some brochures and a small business card; Blair sets the brochures down on the table then looks at the card. “10:30 Monday morning doctor Collins.” Read Blair. Blair sets the card down on the table and picks up a brochure. “Abortion.” Read Blair as she opens the brochure and starts to read it. ‘I cant believe I am going through with this, But I just do not have the strength to raise another child by myself.’ Thought Blair.

Blair hears a knock at the door, she quickly sits up on the sofa; she covers the table with the news paper so no one will see the brochures or appointment card. “Who is it?” asked Blair. “Its Edna.” Said Edna. “Come in.” said Blair.

Edna opens the door and walks into the living room. “How are you feeling?” asked Edna. “Awful.” Said Blair. “Would you like me to heat you up some soup?” offered Edna. “No thanks I’m not hungry.” Said Blair. “You have to eat, I’ll just be in the kitchen.” Said Edna as she walks into the kitchen. “Do you know where everything is?” asked Blair. “Yes.” Said Edna as she takes the soup out of the refrigerator. “You are just wasting your time, I’m not hungry.” Said Blair. Edna sets the soup into the microwave and turns it on.“Helping one of my girls is not wasting time, I enjoy it, besides you need to eat.” Said Edna. “If you are sure its not too much trouble.” Said Blair. “No its not, Would you like something to drink?” asked Edna as she takes the soup out of the microwave. “No thanks.” Said Blair.

Edna walks over to Blair with a bowl of soup she hands Blair the bowl. “Thank- You.” Said Blair. “No problem, Let me clean off the coffee table for you.” Said Edna as she bends down. Blair quickly stands up. “NO, I’ll do it later.” Said Blair. Edna starts to pick things up. “Blair let me help you.” Said Edna as she moves things. Blair sets the soup down on a table near the sofa. “No Its fine.” Said Blair as she tries to stop Edna from seeing the brochures and appointment card. Its too late Edna picks up one of the brochures and starts to look at it; she then looks down to notice two more brochures and the appointment card. “Blair tell me the truth, Are you thinking of having an abortion.” Said Edna very calmly. “Yes.” Said Blair quietly. “Why?” asked Edna. “I can not raise three children, I do not have the time or strength.” Said Blair. “Were you even planning on telling someone you were pregnant? Asked Edna. “Jo was the only one because she was with me at the doctor’s.” said Blair. “At least put it up for adoption so the baby has a chance at life.” Said Edna.
“The Baby doesn’t have a chance at life, I ruined its chance because of my drinking.” Said Blair. “Abortion is not the answer.” Said Edna. “Its my life so its my answer.” Said Blair as she starts to get upset. “Blair please.” Said Edna. “Please What? Keep the baby, Put it up for adoption, Stop drinking? Save it I’ve all ready heard it from Jo.” Said Blair in an angry tone.

Edna sets the brochures down and walks over to Blair. “Blair let me help you.” Said Edna. “I don’t want your help or anyone’s help! This is my life! This is my decision!” yelled Blair. “You are not alone, I could help you raise the baby, You have Marcie and Morgan also.” Said Edna. “I DON’T WANT THE BABY!” Yelled Blair. “You cant do this, its an innocent baby, its done nothing wrong, You have no right to kill it.”said Edna. Blair’s eyes start to fill with tears. “How dare you come into my house and tell me how to run my life, GET OUT!” Yelled Blair in anger.

Edna walks toward the door. “This is your life you can do whatever you want but I pray to God that you know what you are doing.” Said Edna as she walks out of the living room. Right after Edna closes the door Blair falls back onto the sofa in tears.

Chapter 8
The sound of coffee being poured into a mug awakens Jo from her thoughts, She looks up from the barstool she is sitting on in the coffee shop, A tall man in his late 30’s with short brown hair and green eyes stands there holding a steaming hot pot of coffee. “Thank-You.” Said Jo. The man stands there starring at Jo for a few minutes before he says something. “Did I interrupt your thoughts?” he asked. “No I was just thinking about something.” Said Jo. The man raises an eyebrow as he stares at Jo. “You looked deep in thought about something.” Said the man. “A lot has been going on lately.” Said Jo. “Care to share?” asked the man. “Not really.” Said Jo in a sarcastic manner. “It helps to get things out in the open.” Said the man. “You don’t give up do you?” asked Jo. “No.” said the man with a smile.

Jo picks up her coffee mug. “I don’t go around telling people my life’s problems.” Said Jo, She then takes a sip of her coffee. “I’m not a person.” Said the man. Jo almost chokes on her coffee. “Then what are you?” Questioned Jo choking on her coffee. The Man sneakers and smiles a small smile at Jo. “I’m a physiatrist.” Said the man smiling. “So is this your side job?” asked Jo confused. “No, my Father owns this coffee shop and I’m helping him out while he’s sick.” Said the man. “A physiatrist?” questioned Jo. “Impressed?” asked the man. “No.” said Jo. The man looks shocked at what he just heard. “Most Woman would be impressed by that.” Said the man. “Well I’m not like most Woman.” Said Jo. “I know and that’s what I like about you.” Said the man. By now Jo could tell that the man liked her and wanted to see more of her; That was the last thing Jo wanted. “I’m not looking for anyone, I don’t even know your name.” Said Jo. “Evan Welch, You are?” asked Evan. “Jo Bonnor.” Said Jo.

Evan looks down at Jo’s hand then he looks back up at Jo’s face. “Married, Divorced, Widow?” asked Evan. “Divorced my ex was a jerk, I still ware the ring.” Said Jo. “Any kids?” asked Evan. “Two girls 14 and 7, They are with my ex for the week up in Maine.” Said Jo. “Maine, Did you use to live there?” asked Evan. “Yes, My girls and I just moved here, I had to move away from him, My friend who has been like a mother to me since I was 16 said we could stay with her and her husband.” Said Jo. “Was your ex why you were so deep in thought?” asked Evan.“Part of the reason.” Said Jo. “What is the other reason?” asked Evan. “My friend is going through some problems.” Said Jo keeping it simple. “What kind maybe I can help?” asked Evan.

Jo sighs as she gives into Evan.“I’ll give you the short version. My friend is an alcoholic she has two girls they are 15 and 13, Her oldest is her stepdaughter she married her stepdaughter’s father 13/14 years ago, Her husband just killed himself a few months ago which caused her drinking to get way out of hand, A few days ago she found out she is four months pregnant, She told me she wants an abortion.” Said Jo. Evan thinks for a moment before he answers Jo. “Is she 100% sure she want an abortion.” Said Evan. “I guess, She’s not talking to me right now since I tried to talk her out of it and tried to offer her help for her drinking.” Said Jo. “If she is 100% sure about decision I think you should support her in anyway you can.” Said Evan. “I can’t support someone who is willing to get rid of a child when I am fighting to keep mine.” Said Jo. “True but this is not like going out and buying a pack of gum, If she thought about this long and hard and feels strong about her decision I think you should support her.” Said Evan.

Jo thinks about what Evan said and then looks at her watch. “I have to go, I’ll think about what you said.” Said Jo. Evan reaches into his pocket and pulls out a card. “My home, work, and cell pone numbers are on here, if you need to talk or maybe would like to go out sometime call me.” Said Evan as he hands Jo his business card. Jo stands up. “I’m not really ready to go out, I will call you sometime though.” Said Jo. “All right, That’s good enough for me.” Said Evan. Jo smiles at Evan then walks out of the coffee shop.
____________________________________________________
Jo slowly walks into Blair’s apartment building uncertain of what Blair will say. Jo wanted so badly for Blair to keep the baby but she now understood how Blair felt and if Blair was 100% sure that she wanted an abortion then Jo felt willing to support her friends decision.

Jo reaches Blair’s apartment house, Jo takes a deep breath then knocks on the door. Jo begins to feel nervous as she hears foot steps walking toward the door; The door opens to see reveal Blair standing there. Jo looks at her friend and can tell that she had been crying, she looked awful her eyes were damp from crying and they had circles under them, her hair was coming out of her ponytail, she was warring a baggy t-shirt that was also damp from her tears. “What do you want?” asked Blair rudely. “Here to help me some more.” Said Blair Sarcastically. “Can I come in?” asked Jo quietly. Blair backs away from the door. “If you want.” Said Blair.

Jo walks into Blair’s apartment- house, She closes the door behind her as she makes her way over to Blair whom is now sitting on the sofa, Jo sits down in a chair next to Blair.
“I’m surprised Edna did not come with you.” Said Blair. “I don’t even know where she is, I came over here from my walk.” Said Jo.

“Edna knows.” Said Blair quietly. “How did she find out?” asked Jo. Blair reaches over and picks up the brochures and the appointment card and hands them to Jo. “She found these on my coffee table.” Said Blair. Jo looks at the brochures and the appointment card. “How did she react?” asked Jo still looking at the brochures and the appointment card. “Worse then you did.” Said Blair.

Jo sets the brochures and the appointment card down on the coffee table; Jo looks over at Blair. “Blair, Are you 100% sure about wanting an abortion?” asked Jo. “Yes.” Said Blair firmly. “Look into my eyes and tell me that you are willing to do this because if you are I am willing to support your decision.” Said Jo. Blair looks at Jo in shock, This is can not be the same person that Yelled at her earlier. “I can’t do that, I’m not sure what I want to do anymore.” Said Blair. “I am here for you and I will support your decision whatever it may be.” Said Jo.

Blair stares at Jo in complete shock, Finely someone is there for her, someone is willing to support her decision, that’s all she wanted to being with. Blair’s eyes being to fill with tears.

Jo looks over at Blair and sees her crying, Jo stands up and walks over and sits down next to Blair on the sofa, Jo puts an arm around Blair’s shoulder to comfort her friend. Blair said the only thing she could think of. “Thank-You.” Said Blair in tears, Blair leans her head on Jo’s shoulder in tears, Jo comforts Blair as she cries on her shoulder.

Chapter 9

By now a week has passed, Natalie is just finishing up her book, Her eyes slowly start to widen as she types ’The End’. “Sam! Get in here!” Yelled Natalie as she clicks save on her computer then prints out the story.

Sam comes rushing into the kitchen with baby powder and a dipper in his hands. “What’s going on is someone dying or hurt?” asked Sam in a panic. “No, I’m done, I finished the book.” Said Natalie in excitement. “That’s great Natty.” Said Sam.

Tabitha comes rushing into the kitchen holding Sammy whom is half dressed. “Daddy!” yelled Tabitha. “What!” Yelled Sam. “You forgot about Sammy, Bad Daddy.” Scolded the six year old; Sam picks up his son. “Sorry little guy, Lets get you changed.” Said Sam to his son as he picks him up then the two leave the room.

“Mommy are you done with your book yet?” asked Tabitha while walking over to Natalie. “Yes I just finished, But mommy has to send it to the editor first before it can be made into a book.” Said Natalie. Tabitha looks confused. “Why?” questioned Tabitha. “In case something is wrong with it, The editor will be able to tell me so mommy can fix it.” Said Natalie. “Oh.” Said Tabitha.

Natalie picks up the pages from the printer and places them in a large envelope; she then writes her name on the envelope then pins the back shut. “Tabby would you like to come with mommy to the editor’s office?” asked Natalie. “Yes!” Yelled Tabitha in excitement.

“Sam, Tabby and I are going down to the editor’s office! We’ll be back in a few minutes!” shouted Natalie to her husband. “OK!” shouted Sam from Sammy’s room.
“Mommy can I ride in the front?” asked Tabitha. “Sure come on.” Said Natalie as the two leave.
____________________________________________________

Jo starts to pace the living room as she waits for her girls to come home. “Jo pacing will not help them come home any sooner.” Said Bruce as he turns a page of his newspaper. “It keeps me from going insane, they are two hours late, they should at least call and say they are running late. Said Jo. “Its 3:00pm if they are not back in twelve hours we’ll call the police.” Said Bruce.

Jo stops pacing and looks out the window. “What if they are hurt, or in danger, I will kill Rick if he hurt them.” Said Jo then walks away from the window and starts to pace again. “Jo please sit down.” Said Bruce. “I can’t.” said Jo.

The door bell rings minutes later, Jo runs to the door and answers it to see her girls and Rick standing there. “Mommy!” shouted RoseMarie as she jumps into Jo’s arms. “I missed you girls so much.” Said Jo as she hugs them.

Bruce walks over to the door and sticks his head out. “What took so long?” asked Bruce to Rick. “One of our flights was late.” Said Rick as he looks at his watch. “I have to go catch a flight to New York, Bye girls.” Said Rick. “Yeah bye.” Mumbled Callie under her breath then walks into the house.

“Bye Daddy, When will I see you again?” asked RoseMarie. “I don’t know, Soon though.”said Rick. “I want to stay with you, I miss you.” Said RoseMarie.

Rick bends down so he is eye to eye with RosMarie. “I miss you too, I wish you could stay with me but you can’t, Daddy is too busy.” Said Rick. RoseMarie’s eyes fill with tears. “I love you Daddy and I want to stay with you, Please, I will be good, I promise.” Cried the seven year old. Rick hugs his daughter. “I love you very much, You are a very good girl, and I will see you soon.”said Rick then lets go of RoseMarie. Rick reaches into his pocket and pulls out his handkerchief and wipes the tears from his daughter’s eye’s, then hands the handkerchief to RoseMarie.

Rick stands up. “I have to go now, You be a good girl.” Said Rick. “I will, I love you Daddy.” Said RoseMarie. “I love you too.” Said Rick as he walks away.

Jo picks up RoseMarie and carries her into the house, Bruce follows behind then with RoseMarie’s bags.

“You’ve had a long day, how about you wash your face, put on some nice PJ’s and take a short nap.” Said Jo to RoseMarie as Jo carries her daughter in to her room. “Ok.” Said RoseMarie. “After your nap we will be having dinner, and guess who is coming?” said Jo.

Jo sets RoseMarie down on her bed. “Who?” asked RoseMarie. “Tabby and her family, and Blair and her family.” Said Jo as she walks out of the room. “Yea I missed Tabby!” said RoseMarie in excitement.

Jo walks back into RoseMarie’s room with a cold wet washcloth, she hands it to RoseMarie. “Wash your face, It will help you feel better.” Said Jo. “Ok” said RoseMarie as she starts to wash her face.

Jo walks over to RoseMarie’s dresser drawer and takes out a pair of puppy PJ’s then walks over to RoseMarie and sets them next to her then Jo takes the washcloth. “Put your PJ’s on and take a nap, I’ll wake you up in time to get ready for dinner.” Said Jo. “Ok mommy.” Said RoseMarie as Jo leaves.

Jo walks down the hallway and throws the washcloth into the hamper on her way pass the bathroom.

Jo makes her way into the living room where she sees Callie sitting on the sofa listening to a Cd and reading a magazine. Jo walks over to her daughter and sits down next to her.

Callie looks up from her magazine when she notices someone is next to her, Callie takes off her head phones and sets her magazine down on her lap.”What?”asked Callie. “How was your weekend?” asked Jo. “Fine.” Said Callie. Jo studies her daughter’s face closely. “Did anything happen?” asked Jo concerned with her daughter’s briefness. “Not that I know of.” Said Callie. “Callie are you alright?” asked Jo concerned. “Yeah I’m fine.” Said Callie. “You sure?” asked Jo.

Callie picks up her cd player and magazine then stands up. “Yes, I’m going to my room.” Said Callie as she rushes out.

Chapter 10
Bruce and Edna stand up from the kitchen table and start to take the plates to the sink. “Edna you out did yourself.” Said Sam. “Yes that was a wonderful meal.” Said Natalie. “Mommy.” Said RoseMarie as she tugs on Jo’s shirt. “Alright whoever wants to leave the table may.” Said Jo. “Yea!” said RoseMarie and Tabitha as they run out of the room.

“Blair, could Lisa, Callie, and I go to my house?” asked Marcie. Blair takes out her house keys. “Here you go, Be careful.” Said Blair. “We will.” Said Marcie as she takes the keys. “I am also going with them.” Said Morgan. Marcie rolls her eyes. “Fine but stay out of our way.” Said Marcie. “Like I would want anything to do with you and your friends.” Said Morgan. “Girls be nice.” Said Blair. “If she’s alive when you come home I’ve been nice.” Said Marcie on her way out, Lisa, Callie, and Morgan follow behind.

“Sam have I showed you my pool table yet?” asked Bruce. “No not yet.” Said Sam. “Great, follow me its in the basement.” Said Bruce. Sam stands up from his chair and follows Bruce into the basement.

Edna walks over to Blair and looks down at her plate. ”Blair you hardly touched your food.” Said Edna. “I’m not feeling too well.” Said Blair softly. “We know.” Said Jo. “What’s going on? I missed something while I was writing my book, Why is she not feeling well?” asked Natalie. “She might as well know, after all you two know, I’m pregnant.” Said Blair. “That’s Great!” said Natalie with excitement. Blair takes a deep breath. ”I’m not keeping the baby, I’m having an abortion.” Said Blair calmly.

Natalie sits there staring blankly at the wall in shock while her brain calculates the information. “Your husband’s dead, How could you be pregnant?” Questioned Natalie. “It’s Jay’s baby, I’m 4 months pregnant and he die 4 months ago.” Said Blair softly. “Why not just put the baby up for adoption?” asked Natalie.

Blair stands up like she’s ready to leave. “I’ve been through this already with them, I do not have any plans to go through this again.” Said Blair getting upset. “Blair I’m going upstairs to check on Sammy, would you please help me.” Asked Natalie. Blair sighs. “Alright.” Said Blair as she walks out of the kitchen.

“I could help you instead.” Said Edna. “I want to speak to Blair alone.” Said Natalie. “Alright, maybe you could change her mind.” Said Edna. “I am hoping to.” Said Natalie then leaves the kitchen.
____________________________________________________

Natalie walks into one of the rooms to see Blair holding Sammy. “You are a cutie pie.” Said Blair with a smile. “He is.” Said Natalie as she walks over to Blair. Blair hands Sammy to Natalie. “I think he just wants his bottle.” Said Blair.

Natalie sets Sammy back in the playpen then hands him his bottle. “I think you’re right.” Said Natalie. “Morgan was like Sammy at that age.” Said Blair with a smile. “I bet she was cute.” Said Natalie. Blair smiles as she thinks back. “She was.” Said Blair.

Natalie sits down on the edge of the bed, Blair walks over and sits down next to her. “You wanted to me to come up and help you so you could talk to me.” Said Blair. Natalie takes a deep breath before she begins to talk. “Blair I am going to tell you something that I have only told Sam, No one else knows this and I would appreciate it if you did not tell a soul what I am about to tell you.” Said Natalie. “I promise.” Said Blair.

Natalie takes a deep breath and turns away from Blair then begins to speak. “After I left here I headed for Florida where I was transferred, I was working at the local newspaper there with a wonderful guy named Joseph, he was great, one night we flew to California and were married in a small chapel, I loved him so much, I thought he was the one for me, One day I found out that I was pregnant, When I told him he was upset and left me, a week later I received divorce papers in the mail.

That was the worse time of my life here I was in my mid 20’s divorced and pregnant, he left me because he did not want to be a father, I had no one to turn to for help I was alone and left to raise a child, I was scared and did the only thing I could think of, I had an abortion.

Weeks later I felt like I had made the worse mistake anyone could ever have made, I wished I could take it back but I couldn’t, I was depressed for a couple of months till my doctor told me I need to leave start over in a new place where no one knew me, I took his advice and moved to Georgia the only place I could get a transfer.

I started over and I began to feel better day by day, I then met Sam and we were married and I did one day tell him. I to this day regret the decision I made, I often wonder if I would have had a boy or girl, and what he/she would have looked like, if he/she would have grown up to be a writer like me or maybe someone famous, If I could change everything I would but I can’t.” said Natalie as she begins to cry.

“Natalie I-I-I- don’t know what to say.” Said Blair. Natalie turns to Blair. “Say you will think about what I said and learn from my mistake, Please.” Cried Natalie.

Blair’s eyes begin to fill with tears. “I promise.” Said Blair as she puts an arm around Natalie to comfort both of them.

Chapter 11
Marcie looks at her cards then at Lisa and Callie then she looks down at her cards again. “I see your three cookies and I raise you a king size Milky Way.” Said Marcie as she sets the cookies and candy bar on the middle of the table. Callie looks at her cards and frowns. “Too Sweet for my blood, I fold.” Said Callie as she throws her cards on the table. “Well Lisa, Are you in or are you folding?” asked Marcie. Lisa looks at her cards and thinks for a minute; Lisa frowns. “I fold.” Said Lisa throwing her cards down on the table. Marcie smiles as she shows them her cards. “Full house.” Said Marcie. “You win again.” Said Callie. “What do you mean again, You won the first three games.” Said Marcie. “I lost my lucky streak.” Said Callie with a frown. “Yep and it rubbed off on me.” Said Marcie with a smile.

“Callie how was your week with your dad?” asked Lisa. “Fine.” Said Callie. “You just seemed strange before you left.” Said Lisa; Callie raises her eyebrows. “How was I strange?” Questioned Callie. “Like you didn’t want to go kind ‘a strange.” Said Marcie. “That because I didn’t.” said Callie. “Oh.” Said Marcie. “Why not?” Questioned Lisa. “I hate him, and if I stayed home RoseMarie would have gone by herself and my mom wants me to stay with her because she does not trust my dad, so I had to go.” Said Callie. “Does your mom know you do not want to go?” asked Lisa. “No, but I talked to Mrs.G and she said she would not tell my mom if I did not want her to.” Said Callie. “You should tell her, she seems like she would understand.” Said Lisa. “My mom, No, Your mom yes.” Said Callie; Lisa laughs. “My mom freaked out and grounded me when I dyed my hair.” Said Lisa. “That’s it! That’s why you two look so different!” exclaimed Callie. “Yep, I dyed mine red, and Marcie dyed her hair brown.” Said Lisa. “Yep, and Blair still has not noticed.” Said Marcie. “Lucky.” Said Lisa. “Yep, Lets play another round.” Said Marcie. “All right.” Said Callie.

Meanwhile Blair and Natalie are just walking down stairs; they walk into the living room where Edna and Jo are sitting in chairs across from each other talking; Blair and Natalie walk over to the sofa and sit down.

Edna and Jo stop talking; Edna looks over at Blair and Natalie, she notices that Blair’s eyes are red and damp. “Blair are you all right?” asked Edna in concern. “I haven’t felt this good in awhile.” Said Blair. “That’s wonderful, I’m glad you are feeling better.” Said Edna.
“What did Nat tell you that Edna and I didn’t that would make you feel better?” asked Jo confused. “She told me something that really made myself think.” Said Blair. “I told Blair pretty much what you two told.” Said Natalie. “Then how come you yelled at us, when we tried to talk to you?” asked Jo. “You were yelling at me and demanding that I keep the baby, I am my own person, and I am in my 30’s and old enough to make my own decisions, Natalie did not yell or demand, she was clam and very supportive.” Said Blair. “Well whatever you said to Blair might have done the trick.” Said Edna. Natalie looks at Blair. “I’m hoping so.” Said Natalie.

An hour has passed when Marcie, Morgan, Callie, and Lisa barge through the front door of Edna’s House. “Marcie No, Not now!” yell Morgan. “Yes now!” Yell Marcie more upset then angry.
Blair and Edna rush into the living room to see what is going on. “What is going on in here?” said Edna. “Nothing!” Yelled Morgan. “Nothing you call it nothing!” Yelled Marcie. “What is nothing?” asked both Lisa and Callie. Morgan and Marcie both turn around. ”Shut-up!” yelled the girls then they turn around. “Callie, Lisa come with me into the kitchen.” Said Edna. “Fine.” Said Lisa as the three leave the room.

“What is going on?” asked Blair. Marcie throws the brochures and appointment card in Blair’s face. “Were you just going to get rid of it and not tell us!” yelled Marcie. Blair bends down to pick up one of the brochures that fell on the floor. “Girls sit down, I need to talk to you.” Said Blair.

Marcie and Morgan walk over to the sofa and sit on opposite sides; Blair then walks over and sits in the middle. “Marcie you are absolutely correct, I was planning on doing that.” Said Blair. “Killing this baby would be like killing Dad all over again, I do not want to loose the one last thing that is apart of him.” Said Marcie now in tears. “I know how much you girls loved your Father, Marcie you were closer to him then I probably was, he was the only person you really had…When I found out I was pregnant I knew right away I could not take care of another child when I can’t even take care of myself right now and I did not think it would be fair to have the baby and not be able to take care of it, or to make you two take care of it, and I did not want to put it up for adoption and worry about it all the time, This was my only option.” Said Blair. “Didn’t you love dad?” asked Marcie. “Yes I loved so much.” Said Blair. “Enough to keep the last thing he gave you.” Said Marcie. “Yes, I will keep the baby.” Said Blair. Marcie looks over at Blair and starts to cry; moves closer to Marcie and hugs her for a minute then lets go of Marcie and looks at her for a second. ”You look different.” Said Blair; Marcie looks guilty. “I do?” questioned Marcie. “Did you dye your hair brown?” asked Blair. “Yes, Lisa and I dyed our hair in one of the empty apartment rooms.” Said Marcie; Blair smiles. “Next time just ask me and I’ll take you somewhere to get it done.” Said Blair. “I will.” Said Marcie with tears in her eyes. “Come here girls.” Said Blair as she holds her arms open; Morgan and Marcie move closer to Blair; Blair then hugs her girls with tears in her eyes.

Edna, Jo, and Natalie walk into the living room and stop when they see Blair and her girls. “Is everything all right?” asked Edna in concern. Blair lets go of her girls; she whips her eyes then stands up and walks over to Natalie, Edna and Jo.

“I have something to tell all of you.” Said Blair with a smile. “What is it?” asked Edna. “I have decided to keep the baby.” Said Blair whose face was glowing. “That Wonderful.” Said Edna as she hugs Blair. “That’s great!” said Jo in excitement then hugs Blair. “That is the best news I’ve heard in awhile.” Said Natalie as she hugs Blair. “Thank-You.”
Whispered Blair into Natalie’s ear. “Your welcome.” Whispered Natalie.

The End
